about

One night's work in the kitchen - vocals guitar and bass recorded live - percussion added after. The storm was recorded a few days later.

lyrics

My morning started well
With a cockatoo in a wishing well
But then you went and wrenched me out of my dream

You drag me out and down the road
I'm waking up over a bacon roll
It tastes good but I would still rather be in bed

Take me back to my cockatoo
We were singing songs like you never knew
In a wishing well that was full of glue
We were stuck in luck and didn't need you
It was so sublime
I wanna do it all the time
I wanna do it all the time

Time races away
I've got to admit it's been a fun day
But in the back of my head I've still got my cockatoo

You've got me thinking thoughts and drinking drinks
When all I wanna do is have forty winks
Why d'you have to go and wrench me out of my dream?

Take me back to my cockatoo
We were singing songs like you never knew
In a wishing well that was full of glue
We were stuck in luck and didn't need you
It was so sublime
I wanna do it all the time
I wanna do it all the time

Sun down
Go to bed
I'm already off my head
Take me back to my cockatoo

Fortunately one is contained behind a drum kit and another behind an acoustic guitar; the tallest actually plays the bass.

Add to that: An idiot savant accordion player, some dancing with flamingos and a bumble bee of electric guitar.

The sum pulses and swarms.... ... more
